The Tigers should revisit their trade deadline interest in this closer to help their bullpen rebuild ahead of 2027.
Motor City Bengals argues that the Detroit Tigers should revisit their past trade deadline interest in closer David Bednar as a free agent this offseason to rebuild their bullpen. The Tigers have already let Kenley Jansen leave and re-signed Jacob Waguespack, but writer Katrina Stebbins suggests the front office needs additional proven bullpen arms ahead of the 2027 season.
Bednar is projected to command contracts between three and four years worth $57 million to $68 million. While acknowledging that an annual average value near $17 million to $20 million would be unprecedented for a Detroit reliever, Stebbins notes Bednar would not cost prospects if signed in free agency.
